12. a. Grapes

The nation of Israel is the vineyard of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. The people of Judah are His pleasant garden. He expected a crop of justice, but instead He found oppression. He expected to find righteousness, but instead He heard cries of violence…They have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel….NLT

The wine from the grapes represents blood. A blood sacrifice is required as payment for sin.

b. Sharp sickle

The angel in Rev 14:15 quoted Joel 3:13 when he said, “Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is fully ripe.”
